A multi-vehicle traffic collision occurred late last night on the southbound lanes of US Highway 101 near Glendale Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. The incident took place at approximately 9:47 PM, resulting in injuries and significant lane blockages that prompted a swift response from emergency services.
Three vehicles were involved in the collision, with at least one individual reporting injuries. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) were notified and arrived on the scene by 10:02 PM to assess the situation and provide assistance. The reporting party indicated that their vehicle was totaled and not drivable, although specific details regarding the extent of injuries were not disclosed.
As emergency personnel worked to clear the scene, they found that the vehicles were obstructing the middle lanes of the highway, causing traffic disruptions.

By 11:05 PM, all emergency services had cleared the scene, allowing traffic to resume normal flow. The prompt action from the CHP and LAFD ensured that the situation was handled efficiently, minimizing further disruptions to the busy highway.
Motorists traveling through the area during the incident experienced delays due to the lane blockages, but the swift response by emergency responders helped to mitigate the impact on traffic.
